If compile fails because Visual Studio is searching files from wron drive, try creating shortcut to VS IDE and set shortcuts working folder to right drive.

This EPOCROOT everyone is talking about here has nothing to do with the PATH. You have to set the EPOCROOT environment variable using capital letters. Example:

set EPOCROOT=foobartodayoryesterday

And not:

set epocroot=foobartodayoryesterday

The first setting of the environment variable decides its name, so if you do:

set epocroot=foobartodayoryesterday set EPOCROOT=foobartodayoryesterday

...you are still toasted until you unset the environment variable with:

set EPOCROOT=

But then again, newer SDK:s appears not to require the EPOCROOT setting...

Make sure Visual Studio and Symbian are bot installed on the same drive. I've had the same problem (and more) when Symbian was on drive C: and Visual Studio on drive E:. By moving Symbian to E: all problems were gone.

By the way: I'm on Windows XP and generating batch files worked before setting the epocroot variable.

Hey, I'm experiencing the "EPOROOT variable must be capitalised" problem as well.

Searched the internet and tried everything.

1. Set variable via Windows and DOS to \Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v21\ 2. Included system32 in the path: c:\WINDOWS32\system32\

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Thanks a lot "Tero" Adding system32 to the Â“pathÂ” environment variable have resolved the Â“EPOCROOT environment variable must be capitalisedÂ” error message.

1000 thanks

Hi,

I am trying to develop a c++ application using CodeWarrior IDE and series 60 SDK on Windows XP . When I compile my application I get the following error:

Error : Symbian Resource - ERROR: Must set the EPOCROOT environment variable BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Epoc32\tools/E32env.pm line 51. Compilation failed in require at C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Epoc32\tools/epocrc.pl line 27. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Epoc32\tools/epocrc.pl line 27.

I tried setting EPOCROOT via the System Settings. But it does not seem to accept it.

cd %epocroot% takes me to the correct directory.

It will be great if someone can help me with this issue.

Thanks

Sheetal

When I run "bldmake bldfiles" it works ok, but with "abld" I get this error:

MAKEDEF ERROR: command-line: 1 Frozen Export(s) missing from object files: NewApplication__Fv @1

Trying to compile helloworld application... Tried "abld make", "abld build thumb urel","abld build armi urel", everything (running on win2k)

I have compiled several other examples successfuly. However, when I try to compile Step 1 from the "An application for Series 60 - a step-by-step example", I get a C0EPOCD.OBJ missing error and some import32.lib etc. errors. If I copy these files to the project\group directory everything compiles ok.

I have checked my pathes and also included the C:\PROGRAM FILES\BORLAND\CBUILDER6\LIB in the path, but with no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Some information concerning this EPOCROOT capitalized problem can be found from the link below.

Error is related to opening the pipe in script. It seem that adding system32 to PATH helps in NT and WIN2000, but what about win98?
